Drizzt Do'Urden (IPA: /dʒrɪtst doʊˈɝdɪn/) is a fictional character in the Dungeons & Dragons-based Forgotten Realms setting. As a non-archetypal drow, Drizzt has forsaken both the evil ways of his people and their home (in the Underdark, in the drow city of Menzoberranzan). Drizzt is one of the most well-known heroic characters of the Forgotten Realms.

Basics

Appearance

Drizzt stands at about 5 ft 4 in and weighs about 130 lb. His eyes are lavender both in the infrared and optical light spectra. Because of this, he stands out from other elves, including other drow, whose eyes are red when using infravision (viewing in the infrared spectrum). He normally wears a mithril chain shirt, a forest green fur-lined cloak, high black boots, and a pair of enchanted, speed-increasing anklets, with a thin silver chain attached to a white unicorn head (made out of Knucklehead trout bone for him by Regis, the symbol of his goddess, Mielikki). Since he is a drow, his skin is jet black (although it is a dark purple in artists' renderings), and he has long white hair. (For the mythological creature, see: Unicorn) In the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, a unicorn is a mysterious, majestic magical beast based upon the unicorns of European mythology. ...

Mielikki (my-lee-kee or //) is a fictional goddess in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. ...

Personality

Outwardly calm and composed, Drizzt has a controlled anger within him, a legacy of the time he spent living in the wilds of the Underdark surviving by instinct alone. While he has mastered that side of his psyche—he refers to it as the "Hunter"—he can still call upon it when he is hard-pressed and under great emotional duress. The "Hunter" is a purely instinctual being, which propels him to an almost invincible fighting state, at the same time stripping him of the compassion that epitomizes Drizzt's character.

When not possessed by the "Hunter," Drizzt is a cool-headed peacemaker who is always willing to avoid a fight if he can, except with evil races such as orcs, giants, yetis or goblins. Even then, he looks for exceptions to the stereotypical prejudice of those races. When the situation calls for it, he is incredibly daring, yet controlled. In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, orcs are a primitive race of barbaric humanoid, largely based upon the orcs appearing in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. ... In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, giant is a type of creature, or creature type. Giants are humanoid-shaped creatures of great strength and size. ... For other uses, see Yeti (disambiguation). ... In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, goblins are a very common and fairly weak race of evil humanoid monsters. ...

He is extremely confident, to the point that several of his friends are convinced that someday the drow will leap into a situation which he will not be able to escape. He harbors a deep love for the surface world and cherishes his place in it (he loves to watch the sunrise, although it stings his eyes, although later in the series it does not burn as much), though many of its other inhabitants are still prejudiced against him. He cares little for the prejudice of those who do not know him, however, understanding that theirs is the flaw, not his (although this was not always so; when he first came to the surface, he tended towards depression and despair after such encounters). He accepts their reaction as being reasonable, considering the vicious reputation of his evil kin. His usual reaction to the initial fear and surprise (without plain aggression) is a kind and comforting smile.

Magical items

Drizzt carries a magical figurine (a "Figurine of wondrous power (Onyx Panther)"), which summons his black panther Guenhwyvar, who is supernaturally intelligent and is a close friend of Drizzt and his allies. Drizzt wears a pair of "Bracers of the Blinding Strike," which increase the speed of the bearer, although he wears them on his ankles, as opposed to his wrists, claiming that footwork is just as important as, if not more than, the speed of the strike (and having found that wearing them on his wrists actually made him worse, not better, as they threw off his timing). For many years, Drizzt wore an enchanted suit of Mithral chainmail provided by Bruenor, but it was damaged recently. He then wore an enchanted spider silk shirt obtained in the Hunter's Blades trilogy, but, as of The Orc King (Oct. 2007) his mithril was back in good repair.

Weapons

Main article: Drizzt Do'Urden's scimitars

His main weapons are his two scimitars, named Twinkle and Icingdeath. Twinkle is a magical elven-forged blade. It emits a blue hue when held, reflecting the starlight its creator held dear. It is now known by Drizzt that he can control its light by so willing it. Icingdeath was found in the treasures of a white dragon of the same name, whom Drizzt and Wulfgar slew together. It gives its wielder protection from any form of fire. In Sojourn Drizzt used Montolio Debrouchee's longbow in occasions, which he took after the death of Montolio Debrouchee. He also carries a long dagger and two throwing knives in hidden sheaths in his boots. Since Catti-brie has taken up the study of magic, Drizzt has taken to carrying the enchanted bow Taulmaril the Heartseeker with him as well. Icingdeath and Twinkle are fictional blades, signature weapons of Drizzt DoUrden, a fictional ranger created by R. A. Salvatore under the Forgotten Realms universe. ...

Combat/tactics

Matron Malice, his mother, originally wanted Drizzt to be a wizard, to replace his brother. Drizzt's hand-eye coordination was so well-tuned, however, that his father and mentor, Zaknafein, gave him the name "Two-Hands", and Matron Malice allowed him to become a Fighter (after being proven very wrong by Zaknafein). Drizzt fights in the two long-weapon style; uncommon among drow warriors (who prefer the usual short+long weapon style), however the expert swordsmen Drizzt encounters seem to prefer the dual long-weapon style. He was trained by his father, Zaknafein, "...perhaps the finest weapon master in all the city" (Homeland p. 103) (Menzoberranzan)," who taught Drizzt the required movements to transcend the basics of the drow martial art and think creatively about any fight." Zaknafein's technique focused more on training one's muscles to respond, quickly and in perfect harmony, to the call of the mind, and more importantly, to the call of the imagination. He taught that improvisation, not rote responses, separated a warrior from a weapons master. Zaknafein DoUrden is a fictional drow character created by R.A. Salvatore in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. ... Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders, is a fictional city-state in the world of the Forgotten Realms, a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting. ...

When the tides turn bad, or when facing opponents such as dragons or frost giants, Drizzt calls upon his innate drow abilities to conjure up a globe of impenetrable magical darkness that neither himself nor his opponent can see through. Depending on the situation, Drizzt may continue the fight from there, or retreat to recover his footing. In this situation, Drizzt fights on instinct, using sound and even the feel of the air around him to predict enemy attacks and find holes in his opponents' defenses -— an act which generally gives him the upper hand, as very few people can match Drizzt in such a situation (the textual equivalent of the Blindfighting feat).

When chasing someone or unable to see his enemies, Drizzt often calls upon his innate abilities to outline his target with faerie fire, magical purple flames that do not burn. Even if the target turns invisible, the flames will still reveal the shape of Drizzt's opponent. This ability is also demonstrated in Streams of Silver during the Sky Ponies' attack, in which Drizzt enshrouds two of the tribesmen. Described as "unburning flames," Drizzt uses the faerie fire to simply throw the magic-fearing barbarians into disarray. Drizzt has also been known to use his faerie fire ability to frighten the more superstitious races (goblins, orcs, and some barbarians) into fleeing from battle, or simply putting them into a state of fear to more easily strike. Drizzt has lost his ability to use levitation magic due to his life on the surface, in which the sunlight destroyed his magical drow clothing and items. In some role-playing games, faerie fire is a spell used by rangers. ...

Drizzt also carries an onyx figurine of a panther with him, which, on his command, summons a 600 pound cat named Guenhwyvar. Guenhwyvar is a remarkable fighter with more speed and strength than most of her enemies. She is very much like Drizzt in demeanor, and appears to understand Drizzt's spoken words. She, at times, was the only friend Drizzt had in the world, and she loves him in return. Guen is a magical cat from the Astral Plane, and cannot stay on the Material Plane with Drizzt for long. If she is badly injured or by his side for more than a day or two (more typically half a day out and two days rest, as stated by Drizzt in Sojourn), she must go back to her homeland to rest. Drizzt calls upon her frequently to assist in battles and hunts, and she is happy to oblige, though she holds true to Drizzt's own tenets, and never hunts for the sake of the hunt. Drizzt and Guenhwyvar, from the cover of Homeland In the fictional universe of the Forgotten Realms, Guenhwyvar is a magical black panther from the Astral Plane. ...

Drizzt never takes potions and the like with him on adventures, preferring to rely on his own skills, equipment and friends (generally Bruenor, Catti-brie, Wulfgar, Regis and Guenhwyvar) to help him out if he gets into too much trouble. This has, however, been dangerous at times, especially when Ellifain, an elf Drizzt had met early in his life, cast a fire-shield enchantment that mirrored Drizzt's attacks on his own body. According to the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, he is a 16th level character (Fighter 10, Barbarian 1, Ranger 5) with a +2 character level adjustment, due to his being a noble drow; these are his statistics for the role-playing game and do not represent Drizzt in the novels and stories.

Biography

Drizzt was born in Menzoberranzan in 1297 DR as the third son to Malice Do'Urden (then Matron Mother of House Do'Urden or Daermon N'a'shezbaernon) and was originally meant to be sacrificed to Lolth (the usual fate of the third living son of any house), but was spared minutes after he was born; the eldest Do'Urden brother, Nalfein, had been assassinated during a raid on another house by his second-oldest brother, Dinin. Through Dinin's actions, Drizzt became the second living son and his life was spared. His sisters were, from eldest to youngest, Briza, Vierna, and Maya. His father, Zaknafein, was the renowned weapons master of House Do'Urden and secretly hated drow society as a whole. He taught Drizzt the way of the blade, and more importantly, taught him a moral code. Family emblem of House DoUrden House DoUrden (short for Daermon Nashezbaernon) is a fictional clan of dark elves in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, created by R.A. Salvatore. ... Lolth, as shown on the cover of the Queen of the Demonweb Pits module. ... Zaknafein DoUrden is a fictional drow character created by R.A. Salvatore in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. ...

Hunted as a traitor to his race, Drizzt left Menzoberranzan in search of a better life, and eventually found his way to the surface after time alone in the wilds of the Underdark and a sojourn with the deep gnomes. Most people he met treated him with hatred and disgust, leaving only the most open-minded and open-hearted people to accept him. One of these people was Belwar Dissengulp, a svirfneblin. The Underdark is a literal underworld to the surface world for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games. ... Belwar Dissengulp is a svirfneblin of Blingdenstone, and a creation of R.A. Salvatore in the popular Forgotten Realms book series. ... In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, svirfneblin, or deep gnomes, are a sub-race of gnome. ...

After wandering together with Belwar and a polymorphed pech nicknamed Clacker through the Underdark and fighting off a spirit-wraith (his father was murdered and, through zin-carla, an unholy drow religious ritual, used as a puppet in an attempt to kill Drizzt), he eventually left Belwar and found his way to the surface. In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Pech are elemental creatures from the Inner Plane of Earth. ... The Underdark is a literal underworld to the surface world for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games. ...

Here he was to meet an important and true friend named Montolio Debrouchee (Mooshie). Drizzt was taught the ways of the ranger from Mooshie, a blind human, and Drizzt realized he had followed these ways all of his life. From this time on, he made his patron goddess Mielikki, Faerûnian goddess of the forest and of rangers. Mielikki (my-lee-kee or //) is a fictional goddess in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. ...

After the death of his mentor, Drizzt traveled through the realms in search of a new home. Eventually Drizzt found himself in Icewind Dale. There he met some of his best friends (known later as the Companions of the Hall): Bruenor Battlehammer; Bruenor's adopted human daughter, Catti-brie; Wulfgar (Bruenor's adopted human son), son of Beornegar; and Regis, a decidedly unadventurous halfling. A series of events led Drizzt and his friends south, to Mithral Hall, where they currently reside. The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. ... Silver Marches (formerly known as Luruar) is a fictional region and political entity on the fictional continent of Faerûn, in the Forgotten Realms. ...

Thoughtful and sensitive to others, Drizzt holds himself to the highest ideals but does not expect the same of others. Ever alert for treachery and danger, he speaks little but is apt to be polite (if terse) in his dealings. A perfectionist who yearns to be accepted into places and groups and to make friends widely, Drizzt is haunted by the danger he brings to those he befriends thanks to the scrutiny of the clerics of Lolth and his other foes (notably the demon Errtu and the human assassin Artemis Entreri ). Those he meets perceive him as having a grim manner. Lolth, as shown on the cover of the Queen of the Demonweb Pits module. ...

Thrice in his life, Drizzt had regressed into a bestial and instinctive state of mind in which he was identified as the Hunter. The first time this happened was after Drizzt had fled from Menzoberranzan and was living in the wilds of the Underdark The second was when he went back to his homeland to prevent harm from coming to his friends in the book Starless Night. The third time was during the war with King Obould Many-Arrows and his horde of orcs. Drizzt had thought Bruenor dead, and wasn't certain if his other friends were alive. When Drizzt is the Hunter, he reaches his physical apex, his skills honed to their utmost peak. His scimitars are like extensions of his own arms, and his senses are heightened beyond their normal capacity. He prefers to carefully think through his actions, to use every opportunity to strike or take toll on his opponent than to fall into the instinctual beast that is the Hunter. There is a great side effect on his and his allies part, because he could strike true on the opportune moment, even though his friends or he could be in severe danger. Occasionally, he summons the Hunter temporarily in combat, coming to his senses soon after. This is likely a textual representation of his barbarian rage ability. The Underdark is a literal underworld to the surface world for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games. ... King Obould Many-Arrows is a fictional character from the Forgotten Realms series. ...

After nearly defeating King Obould Many-Arrows atop a mountainside using the sentient blade Kahzid-Hea ("Cutter"), Drizzt left with his elf companion Indovindil to go to the grave of Ellifain. Upon his return to Mithral Hall Drizzt is beset by the idea that the orcs are trying to live together with the dwarves in harmony and the anger Drizzt still feels toward Obould. At the end of "The Orc King" Drizzt and Bruenor fight along side Obould, who now wishes to live in harmony with the dwarves, against the power hungry half-orc half-ogre named Grguch who is challenging Obould's right to rulership of the orcs. Drizzt also fights against a curious wizard who has joined the orcish ranks named "Jack the Gnome". Jack is killed by Drizzt after he takes form of a strange flying lizard in attempt to escape. Jack leaves behind a red wizard's robe that Drizzt gives to the up and coming apprentice mage Catti-brie.

As a dark elf, Drizzt is innately able to summon globes of darkness at will in an area or attached to a target. Because he is a drow noble, he can also summon a harmless "faerie fire," which outlines a target, making it easier to spot. At one time, he had the ability to levitate, but the sunlight destroyed the magic of his House insignia which enabled this feat, and he gradually lost this ability. He can, however, still adjust his eyes to the infrared spectrum, allowing him to see in the dark. His agility and fighting prowess are legendary, and many have described his movements as too fast to follow with the eye, drow or human.

"Driz" means "hard, steel, or unyielding," or "dawn", and the suffix "-zt" means "finder or hunter." "Do'Urden" is the family or clan name. "Do" means "walkers in," and "Urden" means "the darkness." Thus, "Drizzt Do'Urden" means "unyielding hunter who walks in the darkness" or "dawn hunter who walks in the darkness".^[4]

Relationships

The relationship between Drizzt and Catti-Brie has slowly evovled throughout the Forgotten Realms series. First realizing his feelings for the fiery woman when he starts feeling pangs of jealousy due to her being with Wulfgar, his infatuation (and her own with him) only grow further when they spend six years together as seafaring with Captain Deudermont of the Sea Sprite. Eventually, the two end up dating, and, as of The Orc King, are informally married (referring to each other as husband and wife, but have yet to have a proper ceremony due to the focus of the Orcish invaders.)

Due to his lack of a family life, as he always distanced himself from his evil brethren, Drizzt has developed an almost brother-like relationship with the barbarian Wulfgar, regards Bruenor Battlehammer as a very close friend. Unlike Catti-Brie and Wulfgar, however, Drizzt does not seem to regard the sturdy dwarf as a father figure, perhaps because he is usually the rational voice to the temperamental king.

Drizzt's Spoken Languages

Drizzt has learnt many langues including Drow, Undercommon, Deep Gnome, Elvish, Orcish, Common, and the drow hand language that uses fingers and facial expressions to say sentences in the same way as hand language is used in our time. (He tries to teach Regis and Catti-Bri the Drow Hand Language, but only Catti-Brie could truly learn only a little bit of it for Regis has stubby little fingers.)
